We should be in contention for a WS as well but this GM is doing a poor job imho. Glad to have the prospects and I completely agree and see your point. However, not at all happy with management and the direction they are taking.  You seem to be ok with rebuilding what was a team on the cusp of a championship just 3 years ago.
At the moment I'm none to thrilled about it.

I see what you're saying. In retrospect, Bailey was a dumbass move. But then again, so was Phillips. But you can't dwell on the past.  I'm just glad we got something for him.

I was expecting one of two things to happen:
1. We don't trade him. Get a comp pick in the draft and don't see that player produce for 3 to 4 years, if ever.
2. We wait too long, Hamels, Kazmir and Samardzija get traded and we're left picking up left overs from whoever will have us.

So getting three guys with real potential was very exciting for me.

I am bummed too that we seemed to fail so astronomically, and I think the management is pretty terrible, especially Brian "*****" Price, but I was very pleased with the return on this trade.

Now we need to trade Leake for a solid offensive player and we can maybe get back on track in a few years.
